Books with author William Cumming

If you have ever sat on the Cathedral lawn or looked over the bridge at the river when visiting Dunkeld, Perthshire you may have seen a little brown bird darting around the rocks and eddies at the edge of the riverbank, looking for tasty insects and little fish to eat. What animal stories lie beyond this brief glimpse of the natural world? Find out in this charming anthology of short stories for children illustrated with pictures your kids will love. Dipper is a dapper sort of fellow. Enthusiasts birdwatching on the banks of the River Tay might catch a flash of his white chest as he hops to and fro hunting for tiny morsels under the rocks and weeds. This anthology of short stories follows his adventures along the river, from his encounters with the scary-looking Salmon to the friendships he forms with other Scottish birds, Gull and Kingfisher. Packed full of fun and facts, this collection of animal stories for children illustrated with images of the natural world are sure to entertain and inspire.

The life of Dr. Arne, the composer of “Rule, Britannia,” offers to the reader and to the music student an interesting and instructive story, showing that natural ability, even when combined with genius, is not sufficient to ensure a triumphant and successful career. Morality and conscientious rectitude in the affairs of life are essential, and had Arne exercised these, his exceptional gifts might have enabled him to surpass his great contemporary, Handel.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
